Equipment

  • blender
  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • Crust:
  • 3 cups (96g) crispy brown rice cereal
  • 1 /4 cup (50g) coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp (60g) agave
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 2 cups (240g) raw cashews, soaked and drained
  • 1 /3 cup (105g) agave
  • 1 /3 cup (70g) coconut oil
  • 1 /3 cup (80g) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • Berry Swirl:
  • 1 cup (140g) frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 –3 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Grind the cereal in a food processor until it reaches a rough, sandy crumb texture.
  • Add the coconut oil and agave to the processor; blend until the mixture is sticky and clumpy.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a lined 8x8-inch square pan and freeze.
  • Blend the soaked cashews, agave, coconut oil, lemon juice, and zest in a high-speed blender until very smooth.
  • Combine the frozen blueberries, coconut sugar, and water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the frozen crust. Dollop with the blueberry sauce and swirl using a chopstick.
  • Freeze the bars overnight.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

- Use a food processor for the crust to achieve the desired sandy texture; avoid over-grinding into dust.
- Soak raw cashews for a few hours before blending to ensure a creamy filling.
- Stir the berry sauce frequently while simmering to prevent burning.
- A high-speed blender is recommended for the filling to achieve optimal creaminess.
